Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Lattafa Teriaq is no exception. The opening salvo presents Lavender, Bergamot and Cinnamon, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Lattafa Teriaq emerges: Honey, Cashmeran and Jasmine. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Tobacco, Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Musk anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Lattafa Teriaq leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Tobacco, Sweet, Honey, Warm Spicy, making Lattafa Teriaq a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Value (10/10): At PKR 4,500, Lattafa Teriaq delivers significantly more than its price tag suggests — one of the better value propositions in its category.
